This is Fluttershy for a birthday card for my niece. The pattern is from mylittlecscharts at deviantART and the alphabet is by Ellen Maurer-Stroh. This was more trouble than it should have been; I started with a different pony, and after two tries could not get the colors right. I suffered from a complete inability to count while working on it as well; aside from problems with the head, the word “HAPPY” took three tries (one with a smaller alphabet and one too far left) and I’m still not entirely happy with its position or the position of “BIRTHDAY”.

This is The Moon by Alphonse Mucha from Miniature Set 11 at The Art of Stitching. I’ve hit an annoying part; the flowers in her hair are confetti stitching and in that part, I think I’m spending more time beginning and ending threads instead of stitching. I’m approaching five squares (a page) across and four down (out of eleven across and fifteen plus four stitches down). It’s going to take a while.
